Life is round

like a still drop of dew

or each drop of rain falling,

the body of life

is round:

like a pearl, or a planet,

a cell,

or a fleeting bubble.

and like the ever-exploding suns

birthing luminous skies,

and like reflexive moons

dreaming beyond the dark,

all things orbit

a still deeper source,

guided by an invisible force

that loves

roundness.
